મહાશય ! તમામ લેકે કોઈ ને કોઈ દોષથી ઘેરાયેલા છે. સવ થા દોષરહિત-પરમવિશુદ્ધ તે એક પરમાત્મા વીતરાગ દેવજ છે. અને વળી બીજાના દોષ જોવામાં જે તું તલપાપડ થઈ રહે છે, તે 4121 4914 2 yang 37 ovat teľ ?

( 87 ) Why do you fruitlessly trouble yourself with the thoughts of others ? why do you uselessly interfere with matters which do not concern you ? To fully indulge in wicked thoughts is to accumulăto volumes of smoke. Cf. By anger, fear, aud avarice deluded,
Men do not strive to understand themselves, . . Nor ever gain self-khowledge. One is proud Of rank and plumes himself upon his birth, .Contemning those of low degree; another Boasts of his riches, and disdains the poor; Another wants his learning, and despising Men of less wisdom, calls them fools; a fourth Piquing himself upon his rectifude, is quick to censure other people's faults. But when the high and low, the rieh and poor, The wise and foolish, worthy and unworthy, Are borne to their last resting place the grave.
